reasons you should be watching fox's Lie to Me:

1. it might get canceled! experience tells me that good shows get canceled. this is just history. right now, it's running about 9/12 in the ratings, and i think it needs to do better. it has american idol as a lead in (though it might be changing to lead in to american idol? i can't remember) and that can't hurt, but really!

2. it's got a cool concept! it's based off of real-life guy paul ekman, a psychologist who has been pioneering in emotions and their relationship to facial expressions. and you'll learn a lot about the facial action coding system! which is really cool. you can think about phrenology and wonder what the relationship is. OH. and they do cool clips of pictures of actual people doing the things they're talking about. IT WILL MAKE YOU THINK!

3. it's a procedural, which means it can hit your bones/csi/l&o/whatever kinks! THERE ARE MYSTERIES TO SOLVE, PEOPLE.

4. it's got cool people in it! AND THEY ARE ATTRACTIVE!

( cut for the PRETTY )

5. I HAVE INCLUDED CLIPS!

( seriously! instead of working! i found clips for you! )

6. there are hot women!

7. it's got snappy dialogue!

8. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!
